Alternate universes. He'd just spent a few weeks travelling through them and they were still difficult to get used to. When she mentions Oracle isn't here, Kyle's disappointment is visible. 'And I guess Happy Funtime Batman is just too much to ask for huh?' He sighs.

[controlledvariable]

"There's no such thing as Happy Funtime Batman," Well, there's Dick, but she's pretty sure Kyle predates his time as Batman, and that version of Dick has gone home.

'No kidding. There was one Earth where Jason Todd was Batman and you couldn't really even tell the difference.' Well, it would have been obvious to them, but Batman to Kyle always read as 'spooky'.

[controlledvariable]

Give her a moment while her brain tries to process the idea of Jason as Batman.

"I think I could probably tell the difference," Because... Jason. The only one of them she can imagine slippng seamlessly into the Batman role is Damian, and that's not something she wants for him.

(Tim could try, but while he's as closed off as Bruce, he doesn't have the same sort of anger).

Kyle tilts his head slightly. 'Multiverse,' he supplied. 'Earth-15, I think. I didn't really keep track after the first six.' There'd been the Jokester, too, but he knew better than to mention that to the Batclan.

"Couldn't the ring like - catalogue them for you?" She doesn't know how someone couldn't want to keep track of things like that, and then wonders if she's been a Bat too long.

[imaginate]

Kyle honestly hadn't thought of it. 'I think it might have. I'd have to ask.'

Steph knows very little about how GL rings work, so she's just working off how she'd use a (not actually)magic ring if she had one, "I hope it did, seems like the sort of thing that'd be useful."

'I guess, if you want to keep track of which Earth you had cereal for breakfast instead of pancakes.' It probably could, but only if Kyle had willed it to, and he hadn't, really.

[controlledvariable]

"What, universe hopping got a bit boring for you?" She's teasing just a little.

[imaginate]

'Only if you don't mind people constantly trying to kill you every time you land up on a new Earth.'

[controlledvariable]

"We have people trying to kill us every time we walk out the door," And walking out the door is significantly more boring than alternate worlds.

[imaginate]

Hm. That was a good point. 'Touche.'
